It is built from heavy-duty 18 gauge marine grade 316 stainless steel with a mirror-polished finish that conforms to the shape of the skeg, and it includes a drain hole on the bottom so water does not collect and cause corrosion or freeze damage over the winter. Installation is designed to be straightforward: the SkegGuard slides onto the existing skeg and is gently tapped into place with a rubber mallet, then secured using the pre-drilled holes with a 1\/4-inch drill bit, a job that typically takes under 10 minutes. A 3 millimeter lower wear tab reinforces the leading edge of the skeg for added impact protection. Because it is designed to fit over the skeg itself, the SkegGuard 27021 can be installed with as little as 2 to 3 inches of the original skeg remaining, making it a practical option for repairing a skeg that has already sustained damage rather than replacing the entire lower unit. This part fits Mercury MerCruiser Alpha One drives from 1985 to 1990. It is manufactured in the USA and backed by a 3-year warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e
